Adventures in the Forgotten Realms is starting to bring some of the support Skeleton tribal has needed for a long, long time. Like Limited Edition Alpha long, with Drudge Skeletons and Wall of Bone (even though the wall wasn't really a Skeleton at the time).

So here it is, a solidly Standard Skeleton-based deck! I'll be updating and generally messing with this as time goes on, so this is a first draft.

I took a lot of inspiration from Izzet Phoenix decks to make this. I've also been experimenting with for discard and Death-Priest of Myrkul, but it didn't seem to add much.

Demilich and the returning Delver of Secrets   encourage a lot of instants and sorceries, which seems to be the encouraged build for these days.

For another approach to Skeletal Standard, check out Ossuary Army.
